Overrated!!
************************
How so? Defend your statement…I think Rod is pretty much the opposite of “overrated”. His numbers speak for themselves. What speaks to your assertion?

It’s hard to see mike shananhan were he’s at now because he made such good choices then, and now he looks like the game might have passed him up and he’s just trying to do anything to survive. If that team played on the east coast there would be 10 HOFers from that team and rod smith would be one of em. Good job #80.

Also a sneaky-good fantasy pick. :D

Dude, are you brain damaged? I’m just saying you seem borderline tardo. I’m just saying that you’re probably a genius but convey your moronic thoughts in a spastic way. Just saying and all.
Rod, tell the to put Eddie Mac next to you in the ROF. Most people don’t know but Rod and Eddie competed every game NOT to see who had the most receptions, but to see who had the most BLOCKS. Prima Donnas don’t play like that anymore. Class act Rod, Class act.

I understand your question of concern, but if you ever saw Rod play as I did for 11 yrs, you would be comfortable with his induction, no matter who made the decision. There are certain players who leave their mark on the game & he is one of them..

Were these all against Kansas City or is it just me? Very much deserved!

I believe the inductees to the Ring are decided exclusively by Mr. Bowlen.

……………………………………………….
there is a waiting period…Smith missed all of 2007 with injury but didnt retire till 2008…

this was the first year he was eligible

Thu, 17 May 2012 19:33:45 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=755389#comment-1789049Doesn’t having John Elway in a position to put people in the Ring of Fame produce a gigantic conflict of interest? Not saying Rod Smith isn’t deserving because he is… And also not saying John Elway is abusing any kind of power he has… I’m just saying it kind strikes me a little the wrong way that he has the ability to put his teammates in the Bronco’s Hall of Fame..
